If you're looking for a VR successor to Ace Combat, Project Wingman: Frontline 59 might disappoint due to its short VR duration. However, it's a convincing and fun arcade flight-sim with good longevity. Some missions are too long, and the AI is less effective, but it's a strong alternative to Bandai Namco's series.

EA Sports UFC 5 is undoubtedly the best installment in Electronic Arts' series. The technical revolution with the Frostbite Engine enhances realism, making gameplay spectacular and rewarding. However, the repetitive single-player career needs a major overhaul.

The Invincible has great ideas but suffers from slow pace and basic gameplay. While Firewatch balanced constant narrative with minimal gameplay well, this title doesn't quite manage it. Still, it's worth trying the demo to see if it suits you before deciding to buy or wait for a discount.

COCOON is the perfect puzzle game, with impeccable design and varied puzzles that will please experts and enthusiasts. Its minimalism and assumed standard mechanics might challenge newcomers, but it's highly satisfying once you get used to it.

EA Sports WRC is a solid title that lays a strong foundation for the future of official World Rally Championship games, inheriting the best aspects of the DiRT Rally series. There are a few minor flaws, and the graphics are a bit dated, but these can be easily overlooked thanks to the enjoyable and satisfying gameplay and well-built career mode.

The Talos Principle II evolves the first game in every way, making it a cornerstone of the genre. Its variety intrigues players, who will spend more hours than anticipated due to the game's length and challenge, constantly urging you to achieve 100% completion. It's complex enough to make you think but never too difficult. The perfect puzzle game.

With Persona 5 Tactica, SEGA and Atlus continue to exploit the adventures of the Phantom Thieves, delivering a tactical RPG that's at times essential but still fun. This new foray into alternate universes may not rival the original in writing and mechanics, but it's a well-written and mature story with fun and well-polished gameplay. A tasty appetizer that eases the wait for the future of the series.

The question is: is Modern Warfare III a massive expansion or a standalone game? The truth lies somewhere in between. It offers few new features (mainly evolutions of the past) and some content quality gaps, but its monstrous multiplayer structure is technically infinite. Whether it's worth buying depends on the player's recent history. If you've played the previous title extensively, you may struggle to distinguish between Modern Warfare II and III. But if you haven't bought Call of Duty in a while, Modern Warfare III might be a culmination of the dynamic, frenetic CoD experience.

With Bang-On Balls: Chronicles, Exit Plan Games has created a fun and entertaining first title, well put together despite not being revolutionary. Bob's adventure will win you over with its absurdity and quirky presentation. It's a visually charming and satisfying 3D platformer, offering a delightful dose of good humor.

I won't deny that Worldless made me incredibly frustrated, as it quickly undermines the excellent work Noname Studios achieved. The sudden and inexplicable increase in difficulty halfway through overshadows the excellent level design and original combat system. Despite this, Worldless is a splendid metroidvania with stimulating progression and an outstanding artistic direction. Recommended for genre fans, though be prepared for its flaws.

Blasphemous 2 is an excellent second chapter in a series that has become a benchmark for genre enthusiasts. The Game Kitchen has improved and expanded the overall experience, offering more varied gameplay and exploration. While not perfect, it maintains high quality. However, those with strong religious sensitivities might find it unsuitable.

Ghostrunner 2 doesn't try to win over those who disliked the first game, focusing instead on its hardcore fans who enjoy frenetic action with synthwave music in a cyberpunk setting. The late-arriving new features feel more like a version 1.5 than a true sequel.

Unfortunately, early fears about Ufo Robot Goldrake: Il Banchetto dei Lupi have materialized. Endroad's work is not the masterpiece Nagai's fans deserve. Simple and straightforward, it manages to be passable, but given its name's importance, it should have soared higher. Hardcore fans might still enjoy it despite its flaws.

With Disgaea 7: Vow of the Virtueless, Nippon Ichi returns to the series' tactical RPG roots, addressing the issues of Defiance of Destiny and delivering a less forgiving title. It offers a multifaceted and challenging experience, delighting fans with countless hours of fun. Though not perfect, it stands out in the series.

Hellboy Web of Wyrd is a stylish nostalgia trip, paying homage to Mignola's artistic genius. Visually appealing but limited in gameplay, it will polarize opinions based on fans' devotion to Red. While entertaining, it suffers from repetitiveness.

Genotype feels like a missed opportunity. It starts with great promise but ultimately shows the limitations of a production weighed down by its ambitions. The gameplay doesn't fully utilize the protagonist's gloves, sticking to predictable paths. With more creativity, it could have been a standout VR title.

I admit, when I reached the credits and realized that AstralShift wasn't a Japanese team, I couldn't help but applaud even more for their work on Little Goody Two Shoes. The production successfully misleads and tricks the player from start to finish, creating a unique horror adventure. Though it has a slow start and occasionally unclear puzzles, if you have the patience to reach one of the multiple endings, you'll surely recognize Elise and company's personality.

What happens if we transport a 1985 gameplay to modern gaming machines? Air Twister refreshes the concept of Space Harrier effectively, adding numerous side activities to counter the short longevity of old arcade productions. Though not revolutionary, Yu Suzuki's new work is a successful homage to this old way of gaming, simple but still fun. If you loved Space Harrier, Air Twister will likely win your heart, despite its essential presentation.

Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord didn't manage to break the curse of similar tie-ins. Despite its charming franchise and convincing gameplay mechanics, the monotonous cooperative experience (both online and offline) flattens the game's initial promise. A more story-driven approach would have been preferable. Hopefully, future updates will improve the experience.

Wizard with a Gun is a solid product in every aspect. Galvanic Games' work is aesthetically pleasing, narratively sufficient, and mechanically satisfying. While it doesn't break new ground, it's a great refresher of basic genre mechanics. Recommended for roguelike fans and newcomers alike.
